DETAILS
Product Description
This is the complete daily routine for pigmentation, dark spots, and uneven skin tone, built to brighten without irritating. It pairs the Deconstruct Vitamin C Brightening Face Wash (0.5% Vitamin C + 2% Niacinamide) with the Deconstruct 10% Vitamin C + 0.5% Ferulic Acid Serum. The cooling, sulfate-free cleanser gently lifts dirt, oil, and dullness while niacinamide refines pores and evens tone, prepping the skin. The serum then delivers 10% Liposomal Vitamin C stabilised by Ferulic Acid, plus soothing Cica and Panthenol, to fade pigmentation, brighten, and support a smoother, more radiant complexion. Because both products work in the same brightening pathway, they compound each other's results, giving you a visibly clearer, more even-toned glow with consistent use.
How Does it Work on the Skin?
-
Step 1 – Face Wash:
- 0.5% Vitamin C (3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid) helps reduce dullness and fade dark spots.
- 2% Niacinamide helps refine the appearance of pores and even out skin tone.
- Licorice Extract soothes the skin while supporting a brighter complexion.
- Aquaxyl helps maintain skin hydration during cleansing.
- Cooling Menthol provides a refreshing cleansing experience.
- Sulfate-free cleansing agents (Decyl Glucoside and Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate) cleanse effectively without stripping the skin barrier.
- pH-balanced formula (4.0–5.5) helps support healthy skin.
-
Step 2 – Serum:
- 10% Liposomal Vitamin C penetrates effectively to brighten skin, reduce pigmentation, and improve overall radiance.
- 0.5% Ferulic Acid helps stabilise Vitamin C while boosting antioxidant protection.
- 0.5% Centella Asiatica (Cica) helps calm redness and soothe the skin.
- 0.25% Panthenol hydrates the skin and supports the skin barrier.
- pH-balanced formula (3–4) is optimised for Vitamin C performance.
-
The Synergy:
- Cleansing with Vitamin C and Niacinamide prepares the skin for better absorption of the high-strength Vitamin C serum.
- Both steps work together to target melanin buildup, reduce pigmentation, and improve uneven skin tone for a brighter complexion.
How to use?
- Morning & Evening:
- Massage a small amount of the Vitamin C Face Wash onto damp skin, then rinse thoroughly and pat dry.
- Apply 2–3 drops of the Vitamin C Serum and gently massage until fully absorbed.
- Morning: Always follow with a moisturiser and sunscreen (essential when using Vitamin C).
- Evening: Follow with a moisturiser.

WHICH INGREDIENTS CAN I MIX?
Vitamin C, Niacinamide, and Ferulic Acid layer well together, and this combo is built to be a complete brightening base. To round out your routine:
- For daytime protection: Always follow the serum with Deconstruct Fluid Brightening Sunscreen. Vitamin C makes SPF non-negotiable.
- For hydration & barrier support: Layer Deconstruct Brightening Moisturiser after the serum.
- Avoid at the same time: Don't use strong exfoliating acids (AHA/BHA) or retinol in the same routine as this Vitamin C combo. Alternate them on different days or at different times to help prevent irritation and preserve efficacy.

FAQs
Why buy the Face Wash and Serum as a combo for pigmentation?
They work on the same brightening pathway—cleanse, then treat—so together they target dark spots and uneven skin tone more effectively than either product alone, while offering better value with a combo discount.
What order do I use them in?
Use the Face Wash first on damp skin. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry, then apply 2–3 drops of the Vitamin C Serum. Follow with a moisturiser, and finish with sunscreen in the morning.
How soon will I see results on pigmentation?
With consistent daily use, most people notice brighter, more radiant skin within 3–4 weeks. Deeper pigmentation and dark spots typically fade gradually over several weeks.
Is this combo good for beginners?
Yes. The cleanser is gentle and sulfate-free, while the serum's Liposomal Vitamin C releases gradually for lower irritation, making it an easy first Vitamin C routine.
Can I use Vitamin C with Niacinamide?
Yes. They're a proven combination. Niacinamide helps even skin tone and refine pores, while Vitamin C brightens the skin and helps fade dark spots.
Do I have to wear sunscreen with this combo?
Yes. Sunscreen is essential during the day to protect your skin, support the antioxidant benefits of Vitamin C, and help maintain your brightening results.
Can I use this combo every day?
Yes. Use both products morning and evening. The Face Wash can be used 1–2 times a day, while the Vitamin C Serum is suitable for both AM and PM routines.
Will it dry out my skin?
No. The cleanser is non-stripping and hydrating with Aquaxyl and Glycerin, while the serum contains Cica and Panthenol to help keep skin calm and comfortable.
Is the Face Wash non-comedogenic?
Yes. It cleanses and brightens the skin without clogging pores.
Can I use this combo with retinol or exfoliating acids?
Not in the same routine. Use Vitamin C in the morning and retinol or exfoliating acids at night, or alternate them on different days to help minimise irritation.
Is this combo safe during pregnancy?
Use is discretionary. Please consult your doctor before starting any Vitamin C product during pregnancy or lactation.
